GIVES VIEWS ON
PEACE AND WAR

Editor, B.C. Workers’ News:
There is a lot in your paper I

} agree with and some things I do

not. One of the things I approve of
is the way you are always pointing
out the danger of war and calling
on the people to unite for peace. In
these dark days it is good to read
the truth about those who are pre-
paring to plunge the world into the
holocaust of another great war.

ing it their own interpretation.
They do not seem to know or care
that Jesus, the Son of God, was a
Prince of Peace. They quote such
things as, “My people shall be a
nation and a company of nations,”’
and they say that this refers to

Union is a company of nations and
Soviet China is a nation. These
two are bound in greater unity for
peace than Britain and the United
States. The more I read my Bible
and the more I read of what is hap-

chained for a thousand years.

The fact that the Soviet sovern-
ment claims it is not following the
Bible does not alter the fact, for
God works in a mysterious way
Mis wonders to perform. He will

retreat.”’—_LENEIN.

REFORMS AND REVOLUTION

“It is only by Marxism that the relation of reforms to revolution
can be exactly or rationally determined. Marx could only see this
relationship from the point of view of his own _period, before the
proletariat had won, even in a Single country, a
ail solid or durable. In these circumstances the basis of a correct
attitude was: reforms are by-products of the struggle of the revo-
lutionary working class. After the proletarian victory, even if only in
one country, a new element appears in the relationship of reform
to revolution. In principle, nothing is changed, but the form suffers
a modification that Marx could not forsee, but which could only be
conceived on the basis of the philosophy and the politics of Marxism.
After the victory, reforms (while still remaining on the international
arena a by-product) are also, in the country of the victorious prole-
tariat, a necessary and legitimate truce, when the forces are not
sufficiently strong to pass through this or that stage of dev elopment.
Victory gives a certain reserve Strength, which gives one an oppor-
tunity to last out materially and morally, even during a forced

a victory which was at

your efforts in connection with the
Eco case.

Waturally, you will be pleased to
learn that $1.20 extra per week
has been granted to this family by
the relief authorities.

While this is still entirely inade-

LABOR DEFENCE

Just Hanging
On To Life

We print below the copy of a
reply of a small business man to
a manufacturer who had written
requesting the speedy payment of
an outstanding account:

Dear Sir:—In reply to your re-
cent and more recent requests to
send you a cheque, I wish to in-
form you that the present shat-
tered condition of my bank ac-
count makes it impossible for me
to take your request seriously.

My present financial condition
is due to the effect of Dominion

tax, water tax, excise tax, school
tax, auto tax, hydro tax, and syn-
tax.

In addition to these irritating
taxes I am forced by a  strone
arm of the law to get a permit
for this thing ana a permit for that

to mention a marriage license.
Zam also requested and requir-
ed to contribute to every society
and organization which the inven-
tive genius of man is capable of
bringing into life—to the society
of St. Jean Baptiste, the Women’s

Stitution in the city—the Red
Cross, the Black Cross, the White
and the Green Cross, the
Purple Cross, Flaming Cross, and
the double cross.
